From Our Print Edition

Penguin Winner Awards go to retailers, manufacturers and sales agents for outstanding merchandising.

Winners of Golden and Silver Penguin awards have been announced for the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association’s June Dairy Month and Summer Favorites Ice Cream and Novelty promotions.

The awards honor retailers, manufacturers and sales agents for excellence in merchandising. Winners will be honored during the NFRA’s virtual convention this month. The two national promotions, along with March Frozen Food Month, are aimed to drive more consumers to the refrigerated and frozen aisles and increase sales across all categories. Events engage consumers and encourage them to learn more and experience the products these aisles have to offer.

Here’s a list of the winners.
